Many people do not know there is a down side to meth
until they stop using and come down. The problem reveals
itself with the crash following a run with meth. The day
after the user feels sick, depressed, guilty, ashamed and
angry. The meth user is aware that a small amount of meth
will eliminate these unpleasant symptoms and produce good
feelings. Eventually the user depends on meth to become a
solution to the problem it has created, and the cycle of
meth addiction is born.

The trouble is that after awhile the high of meth becomes
disappointing, euphoria turns to numbness, super focus is
replaced by confusion, and productivity is limited to simple
tasks.

A meth addicts time is spent teching, an obsession with
repeating tasks like drawing, writing, applying and
reapplying makeup or even ruthlessly picking at their own
flesh. Meth addicts become delusional and paranoid from lack
of sleep combined with the hallucinogenic properties of the
drug, this condition is known as sketching. Meth addicts can
also become prone to hostility and rage, this condition is
known as tweaking.

Meth addiction is cunning and powerful, although it
eventually fails the user,
Crystal Meth is extremely addictive and many cannot
resist the temptation to use meth one last time.
